Overall great write up, however:

"Again, at no time was there a network-wide outage, though some customers would have seen extended latency delays during that time."

That can't be true. Here in the west coast, I know of over 10 "name-brand" sites that were absolutely down for over an hour. The east coast was apparently hit even harder and for longer.

Are you sure that it was Dyn that was down, or if there was a break somewhere in the nameserver chain?

I know that the digs I was running periodically were getting SERVFAIL responses from Google DNS even though my local nameservers were actually succeeding.
